Andy Murray to Retire from Tennis After Paris Olympics

Two-time Olympic singles champion Andy Murray has announced that the upcoming Paris Games will be his final tennis tournament. The 35-year-old Scot made the announcement on Tuesday, July 23, 2024, via his social media account.

"Arrived in Paris for my last ever tennis tournament @Olympics," Murray wrote on Twitter. "Competing for Britain has been by far the most memorable weeks of my career and I'm extremely proud to get do it one final time."

Murray's decision to retire from tennis after the Paris Olympics comes as no surprise. The former world number one has been battling a hip injury for several years, which has limited his ability to compete at the highest level. In recent months, Murray has hinted that he was considering retirement, and his announcement on Tuesday confirms his decision.

Murray's retirement will mark the end of an illustrious career that has spanned over two decades. He has won three Grand Slam titles (Wimbledon in 2013 and 2016, and the US Open in 2012), two Olympic gold medals (singles in 2012 and 2016), and 46 ATP Tour titles. He is also the most successful British male tennis player in history.

Murray's legacy will extend beyond his on-court achievements. He is known for his fighting spirit, determination, and sportsmanship. He has also been a vocal advocate for mental health awareness, and has spoken openly about his own struggles with depression.

The Paris Olympics will be a fitting stage for Murray to end his career. He has enjoyed great success at the Games, winning two gold medals and a silver medal. He will be hoping to add to his medal tally in Paris and finish his career on a high note.
